Hi,

Why do you need to run the docker container with --privileged? Can the reason be in the readme.md?

Thanks for this. It's going to be really helpful.

Running as privileged is not needed. It is only needed to start and manage systemd.

Hi Eric

Actually the thinlinc daemons also need some privileged access, but as shown in the README you can give those capabilities exp-licitly if you want. One might also think about 'fixing' thinlinc to not require these privileges. I have not investigated this option more closely.

Thanks for the reply @oetiker

I needed to investigate it closer because I was trying to use it with a different base image for which systemd was not running.

mkdir /run/sshd -p
/usr/sbin/sshd
/bin/bash --login -c /opt/thinlinc/sbin/tlwebadm

Running those commands was sufficient to bring up ThinLinc and the ssh server.
